they shouldnt be that hard to get out , if they are they have probably been over tightend at some point .
give them a blast of penertrating oil and let it soak in (overnight would be good)
then in the morning give them another go ...little sharp snatches at the socket/spanner may loosen em up

But please, refit plugs to cold engine as there is a risk of overtightening while cold

Tighten them to 25NM if you have a torque wrench. It not that tight.
